re: Landrieu furiously responding to the flooding from Saturday by taking action

quote:

---

The temporary pumping stations at the ends of the 17th Street, London Avenue and Orleans Avenue canals only operate when the floodgates blocking water from Lake Pontchartrain are closed, and thus are not operated during a rainfall event. The three permanent pumping stations under construction at the ends of those canals are not yet complete, but will operate in the same way."

I do work at each three every week. The old pumps still work, but they have removed some recently. The gates are open all the time. I have to take a boat through them and haven't seen them closed in over a year.
They can pump those canals down quickly, though.

So Mitch hangs out on St. Ann?

Flood was engineered with no drainage maintenance to get more federal monies. That catch basin full of fuggin DIRT is over the top.
